Looks great. A nice finishing touch to your boat. It complements the Sea-Dek nicely.
I have used Kiwi Grip on four projects and have found the preparation to be the crucial step. The application is relatively easy and it really dresses up the boat when finished.

Yes, most unfortunate! I do have all the pics and will put them back in my build thread when I have some time.
I'll post some pics of the boat here shortly. Unfortunately I don't have any video of the boat up and going taken from another boat but I now have a drone and the next time I am on the water I will get some drone footage of the boat on the go. My drone is good for about 25 kts so it should be able to keep up!

Here's a video of the boat running up the Hinchinbrook Channel at 50 mph!

and here it is at about 25 mph in less than ideal conditions!

The decks now have SeaDek installed!
and the soul has been Kiwigrip'd!

She's a meticulously built, rock solid, fast-as beast. I'd be surprised if any boat covered in this forum could match her in a speed enduro. And she's built primarily for barra fishing
